Hi Infidelity by REO Speedwagon
Hi Infidelity is an album by REO Speedwagon, released in 1980. 2 songs from it have charted on rock radio countdowns, with 76 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Take It On The Run”, on 45 lists with a best position of #60.
Hi Infidelity, REO Speedwagon's ninth studio album, arrived on Epic on November 21, 1980, and it's the moment the Champaign, Illinois, road warriors turned years of hard-won following into a full-on radio takeover. Guitarist Gary Richrath is credited as producer, and the record is lean, glossy and built for the car stereo: Kevin Cronin's clean, keening voice out front, Richrath's guitar ripping through the choruses, Neal Doughty's keyboards and Bruce Hall's bass filling in the corners, and Alan Gratzer keeping the beat square.
Four of its songs cracked the US Top 40. "Keep On Loving You" became the band's first number one, and "Take It on the Run" went to number 5. The album sat atop the Billboard 200 for 15 weeks, finished as the biggest seller of 1981 and went on to 10 times platinum.
